    Costa Rica vs. Panama

    This one is difficult... it depends on what you're looking for. For example, if you want to see as many birds as possible, central Panama is a good choice (many different habitats within 1-hour drive range, from dry and humid forest to coasts and mudflats, and so on...), if you want...

    Colombian birds

    Completely! I still need to watch (or hear) this bird there, but it is panamensis the expected one.

    Colombian birds

    This map shows a continuous distribution of S. verapacis from Central America to Ecuador, including most of Panama (only excluding the Tacarcuna range in extreme eastern Panama); however, it is acropholites (and not panamensis) the form found in the Tacarcuna region (specimens collected at Cerro...

    Crested Eagle feeding a young Harpy Eagle

    VERY interesting! I think I saw this same nest (or another close to it) some years ago... saw only a juvenile Harpy... I still need a Crested for my life list!

    Latest from Panama

    Hi, the expected Yellowthroat in the Palo Seco area is the Olive-crowned... very good birders friends of mine have recorded it singing all the way up there. The Masked (Chiriqui) Yellowthroat is not expected, nor the Gray-crowned, both restricted to the Pacific slope and (in the case of...

    Latest from Panama

    Seems that you are having fun! The Gray-breasted Crake in the Ammo Dumps is particularly rare for the area... I think you already know that or it was a lifer for you considering the happy face and the number of exclamation marks you posted !!!! I have heard it many times (in others sites) but...
